Threaten Divorce (How to ruin a perfectly good relationship)
The foundation of a great relationship is safety: physical safety, emotional safety and commitment safety. Without a strong foundation, you simply cannot build a strong marriage.
So one way to destroy your relationship is never ever give your spouse the idea that you are committed to stay in the relationship through thick and thin.
To use this strategy effectively, keep your spouse on their toes by threatening to leave the relationship at the first sign of trouble. Keep them guessing at your level of commitment. Plan your exit strategy and leave the door open.
Using the D word can also be used as an avoidance strategy. When your spouse complains about a relationship issue, say things like: "If you don't like the way things are, just leave". Saying this will ensure that nothing ever gets raised or resolved and resentments can foster and grow.
What makes threatening with the D word so effective to end the relationship is that eventually the other person will call your bluff and show you the door themselves.
